Chris,
Thanks for finding the article. I was trying to find earlier, but with no success. At least it has the pertinent information available in print, rather than trying to remember what the article consisted of. 👍

Boy am I glad I read this thread. I’ve been working on my Elco for over 4 years. About 3 years ago I replaced almost everthing in my steering. 800 GM box, Jeep shaft , all new steering rods, even a rebuilt column and new steering wheel. But I missed the detail about swapping the pitman arm. I got everything put together but the steering wheel is nowhere near where its supposed to be. I ordered the Allstar # 56357 from Summit .

I just picked up a steering box from a 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee. What are the identification marks on the box that will indicate it is a close ratio? I plan on installing it on my 80 Malibu.
